Utter nonsense. Forgiving everything so easily never exists in real world. As it is tagged as a slice of life anime, that can't be accepted. Mc is a gutless idiot. Moreover, the ending seemed really shady. Like wtf! Tomoya has to beg those two traitors' mercy to succeed? Well, it should have been the reverse as there is something called karma. Moreover, on that very moment eriri insults tomoya again by calling his group an anchovies company. How come? As a male, I felt this to be utterly disrespectful. Eriri probably goes down on the list of "The worst female characters". Tomoya's tolerance towards her betrayals pissed me off. She never really seemed to love tomoya. All she did was to expect tomoya to forgive her no matter what. All her emotions burst out only when utaha said her to run away from tomoya. And for utaha, I can say that she did love tomoya. But it was tomoya's ethics that pushed her away. Although, it can never be taken as a reason to betray someone! Megumi, megumi, megumi. Only good thing about the whole saekano series and she didn't disappoint in the movie too. Some might call her selfish, some might call her not fit for tomoya. I don't think so. Selfish? Yes, for the person she loves. Unfit for tomoya? Not in a million times. One can say megumi is TOO GOOD for tomoya. Without her, he would have turned out to be a complete wreck. Megumi protected her from getting devoured by the thought of betrayals from his most cherished persons. Was really happy to see them together and would have loved if tomoya had succeeded solely depending on megumi. But I am not the director. And the epilogue seems to be indicating towards eriri and utaha's potential meddling in tomoya and megumi's happy lovey dovey life. They won't let him move forward, is that it? Don't know what kind of message the director was trying to convey. Chasing after dreams at the cost of becoming scumbags can never be tolerated. There was never a single moment where utaha and eriri seemed to be apologetic. They never felt guilty, even when they had to depend on tomoya due to kosaka's absence. Moreover, they were treating him like servant! Even izumi seemed to be more understanding than eriri in particular. I think kosaka is a better person than those two. At least she has respect for tomoya and doesn't betray others to succeed! One might say, tomoya was holding those two back. If being nice means holding back, then all the creators in this world are masochists, right? Well, nevertheless, I can't give this movie more than 40. Most of this score was gained by megumi. I won't give any verdict on animation or graphical side as that's not my side of expertise. Background music was good. The first season of saekano was the best. The second season, as well as the movie disappointed me. Harem anime is not that bad but this series made that genre look like a joke. Was eagerly waiting for this movie, but I was so disappointed man!
